Swiss artist H.R. Giger, who designed the creature in Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic Alien, has died at age 74 from injuries suffered in a fall, his museum said Tuesday.
Sandra Mivelaz, administrator of the H.R. Giger museum in Gruyeres, western Switzerland, told The Associated Press that Giger died in a hospital on Monday.
Giger's works, often showing macabre scenes of humans and machines fused into hellish hybrids, influenced a generation of movie directors and inspired an enduring fashion for "biomechanical" tattoos.

Not entirely my cup of tea, as far as surrealism goes, but an able craftsman by almost any measure.
I guess I should just let the art speak for itself...
Birth Machine
Brain Salad Surgery
And I'm sure most of you have seen his most famous creation. Though personally I recall the Mad magazine parody better.
